Hey Chad,

Here are some errors I found today while working them through with a class.  I found it strange that I didn't catch it before.

Page 98:

The code referred to at the bottom of the page should be in the demo's Draw method, not the Update method.

Pages 99 - 103:

Code samples are using the playerIndex in the GamePads arrays.  The playerIndex member field is not introduced until later on page 106 for the Split Screen demo.

Page 102 - 103:

We should create an overridden Constructor for the FirstPersonCamera class that looks something like this:

public FirstPersonCamera( Game game ) 

: base( game )

{}

Without the above, the code would not compile and will give an error.

Hope this helps,
